For sure, the most exciting part is combining our knowledge and expertise in developing and producing rubber recipes, rubber products, metals, and plastics to provie solutions that resolve the challenging antivibration issues faced by our customers in the deverse fields of automotive, commercial vehicles, and railways, and then to use our experience in design and testing best practices to demonstrate that our experience in design are fit for purpose and often exceed requirements. To put it simply, we transform rubber into technology.

I'm very lucky to have been part of many successful, profitable, and innovative projects for both processes and products. Innovation for safety, specifically. For instance, one of the latest is related to developing a specific rubber compound that fulfils the very tough new requirements imposed on underground trains for fire and smoke resistance. The recipe incorporates fire retardents to allow more time for evacuation in the event of an underground accident resulting in a fire.

DN is working closely with customers on next generation vehicle solutions and is also continuously updating its technical road map. We have established a global team focused on developing products for new vehicle technologies.

DN offers so many advantages for its employees. Taking my own career as an example, since starting with the company in 1998 I’ve been able to work in an international and dynamic team in many different roles and locations, helping to grow the business. Most recently I have enjoyed the challenge and reward of building up a completely new DN locations. DN continuously invests in it’s people and resources so that we are always moving forwards.

Our business is focused on improving comfort and refinement in vehicles. We do this by taking a system approach to ensure that our products isolate the vehicles occupants from the noise and vibration that comes from the road and powertrain. Our products consist of mounts & bushes for the vehicle powertrain, suspension & chassis. These use rubber bonded to either metal or plastic to produce the final component shape. The design and properties of these products are key to enabling vehicles to exhibit the optimum performance for vehicle handling and safety. Although the rubber bushes and mounts we produce appear quite simple, they embody a high level of technical expertise, coupled to extensive development and technology.

Although we work with customers in many different countries and organisations who have different systems and procedures, they all have common requirements. They need suppliers who will fully support them throughtout development and introduce robust products into production on time. Recognising that our products are often used for the final tuning of the ride and handling of the vehicle, through our network of development centres and manufacturing sites, we are well placed to support rapid tuning changes late in vehicle programmes. Hence our customers need us to have the robust processes and knowledge to develop products on time, while retaining the flexbility to respond quickly when needed.

I believe that DN has advantages over our competitors in that we have global tech centers in 7countries, own the most 3-axial test machines in the world. and are capable of supporting research and development activities based on the network and facilities.

Sustainable growth of a company comes from people. That is why DN prioritizes people in our management policies. To do so, DN countinues our investment in trainings and health of our employees For instance, all emplyees are provided with various trainings, chances to work abroad, mentoring services, gyms, and other suppolrts. These efforts and activities will serve our employees to drive sustainable growth DN.
